REVO 2015!

This weekend, I was honored to be a part La Sierra University's 2015 REVO event. Along with pop-up shops, food, and live entertainment, there was a fashion show. 

This fashion show featured nine different student designers who each dressed a handful of (mostly) student models. The wonderful Klarissa Kurtz was our fearless leader and with the help of her boyfriend Nick, as well as two make up artists, everything fell into place for both  the Ubuntu event on Saturday night and the REVO event on Sunday night.

Racing through Facebook last night, I found some photos of the line Voyager by Klarissa. There are some detail shots (photo credits to Nick) and there are a few runway shots as well (photo credits to Nathan, one of the school's resident photographers).

There are many more photos of this and 8 other lines. I'll be posting links as they become available.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out on Saturday night, and thank you, all my readers, for stopping by the blog!

I Am Because We Are- Charity Fashion Show Events

Hi, everyone! Hope all are doing well! 

I have some exciting news (at least it is for me)! Some months ago I asked to be a model for a charity event. Business student, designer and Modish Iconoclast blogger Klarissa Kurtz designed a line of clothing for last year's REVO Event, and this year, I'm so pleased to say that I'll be modeling one ensemble for her line. This REVO event will be working towards ending slavery and human trafficking on behalf of the Not for Sale Campaign, and will be held at La Sierra University. 

Doubly exciting, we get to walk the runway twice. Loma Linda University is having a charity event called Ubuntu, which will send it's proceeds to orphanages and gardening projects in Swaziland. Having heard the word  ubuntu a few times before, my favorite definition of it is "I am because we are", a sort of community-based approach to being and existing. This event has been planned by AfriNet LLU.

I've been asked to keep mum as the word on theme and details of this line, but all will be unveiled on the 16th and 17th. If you'd like to see the big reveal as it happens and are in the area, reserve your tickets for the Loma Linda event here, or the the La Sierra one here! 

These causes are mind-blowing and exciting to me, and I'm quite antsy to be a part of my first runway modeling gig! I'm so grateful for every last person who will be there, cheering us on. If you can't make it, but would still like to donate to Not for Sale, you can do that HERE!

I'd love to see everyone who can stop by either of these, and as always, I'm so glad you stopped by my blog page, as well! :)
